Ok, so here's the thing. If you don't know me, you should know that I am very self-conscious about the way that I look. I realize that I'm hardly a beast, but everyone tends to focus a little more on their shortcomings than is probably advised by a panel of psychiatric professionals. So, as you know, swimming has been my principal (or sole) form of exercise for nearly a year now. I love it, but they don't exactly let you swim fully-clothed. And to recap some previous posts, in order to feel a little more like one of the gang, I upgraded to some Speedo swimming shorts a while back which is quite revealing and less than flattering. So anyways, I have a rule that no one who knows me can ever see me in my normal swimming attire, so I keep my yellow swimming trunks handy just in case. Well, I was minding my own business swimming just a couple days ago, when I recognized a girl from the music school swimming just two lanes away from me! Just having completed 1200M, I was ready to get out of the pool and devour a pizza whole, but found myself frozen for fear of this girl recognizing me and seeing my costume. So I was forced to sit in the pool and wait for this girl to finish her conversation with a friend which I must say the duration was at least 10 minutes, and then as soon I saw her little swimming cap fly down the water, I leapt out of the pool and dashed into the locker room.
So what's the lesson to be learned from all this? Get hot, have a six-pack, and walk around naked for the whole world to see. It seems much less problematic if you just have the goods and don't care who sees you. So I'm going back to the pool today and I'm upping my distance to at least 1600M today. I need to get this flab in shape!
Ok, on that note, everyone have a great weekend. Surprisingly, I don't have a whole lot going on, so I'll just be hanging around, studying a little, and mostly wasting time. Christmas is in the air. 23 days to go!!
